The Holy Chronicles Of Baator
Blood And War (1)

Along with Zekram, Romania.

Romania was the ancestral home of the Vampire race after the first generation of True Ancestors waged war against the Greek Pantheon Primordial God in ancient times and seized it by force. After that, the Blood Rulers fell into a deep sleep, never waking up in the past thousand years. Zekram knew that the True Ancestor was a Law Being that came from the Astral Boundary.

Although Romania remained a taboo land for the Greeks and mostly for the other Pantheon, because the powerful Blood Ruler was too powerful, stronger than the average Greater Divinity Stage God, the Greatest, and they liked the blood of gods, for Vampires, especially for Families, it was the fastest way to gain power.

Blood Lords were the second generation of Kindreds, the direct son of a True Ancestor.

The Greater God Divinity was the same as the Super Devils, and every Pantheon had at least a few such powerhouses, especially the powerful Pantheon had many of them. The Christian God had an Archangel who, despite having energy reserves comparable to Super Devils, unfortunately, their combat prowess was lacking to defeat him.

However, the superiority of their elements could still cause a lot of damage.

Vampires and Families are isolationists. They never left their territory unless someone attacked them. Although Zekram would be convinced that they would gladly attack the Church, they hated the Church and the Angels with great zeal.

The moment he appeared in Romania, he was immediately surrounded by twenty Vampire soldiers in red armor, each of them emitting the aura of a Supreme Class warrior. That is understandable, because when a peak Demon Class powerhouse appears in your territory, it will definitely cause chaos.

"Zecram."

Said a man's voice as one of the Vampires pulled out his helmet. He was a middle-aged man with shining blue eyes and a stern look.

"Reverse. He's expected."

Commanding the humans as all the Vampires lay down their weapons and spread into the shadows.

"Victor. It's been a long time."

Zekram said a little emotionally. Viktor is an Elder Vampire, the same Class as the Demon Class, and is very powerful among the Vampires. He was the direct descendant of the 2nd True Ancestor and the son of the Blood Ruler. More importantly, he was also one of Zekram's few friends.

"Yes, I did, my friend. Come on, they're waiting for you. The Council of Blood Lords woke up in full presence."

Viktor said while leading Zekram deep into the fortress hidden deep within the mountains, hidden and protected by countless barriers and magic spells. Zekram was surprised to hear that even the Ancestor woke up, but that was understandable. Here the final decision-maker is the Ancestor, especially if the top one is about attacking factions that also have a Form of Law.

Zekram knew that even though the True Ancestor was on the same level as the Christian God or slightly weaker, the two of them would lose even if they fought him together due to elemental losses.

"How does time treat you, Zekram?"

Viktor asked as they walked through the maze of underground tunnels that left the Vampire city. The Holy City of Pale Blood, Yharnam.

That's where the Blood Ruling Council lives. There were four Blood Lords. There were two True Ancestors, from which two Blood Kings were descended from the 1st True Ancestor, and two from the 2nd Ancestor. Each of the Blood Lords represented the main line of a pure-blooded family: Brunestud, Tepes, Carmilla, and Corvinus.

"It's not good because I have to prepare for war. Our three factions are finally all-out."

Zekram breathed. Fortunately, Devils and Vampires/Relatives have a relatively good relationship because they are very similar to each other, creatures of pure darkness.

"Hmm. I wish I could spill the blood of exorcists and angels."

Viktor said with a bloodthirsty grin. Vampires and Families hate the Church and Angels maybe even more than demons in certain respects.

True Ancestors were not interested in anything in the Draconic Deus as they were constantly researching methods of how to return to the Astral Boundary.

"Maybe you'll do it, who knows. I'll be happy to see your Blood Legion marching against the Church and the Angels. But the question was, were the True Ancestors willing to take the risk?"

The risk I am talking about comes from the Greek Pantheon. Who knows, if the vindictive Primordial God remained alive and if the True Ancestor made a move, they would definitely attack Romania. Not to mention the Vampires and Relatives had drawn the ire of some Pantheon because of their tendency to hunt Demigods and even weak gods as a source of blood.

While some Pantheon might not have an existence at the level of a Law Creature or a power level god system, a Mighty Stage God, many of them had methods on how to severely injure or even kill someone. Ancient artifacts, weapons, magic formations, divine weapons, and more.

"Let's know, though most of our people will be eager to fight. We do not know if our current enemies, other than the Church and Heaven, will attack us. True ancestors, on the other hand, were not They were not interested in the Draconic Deus affair; they were only interested in returning to the Divine Blood Plane. Our ancestral home."

Viktor said as they walked through the endless corridor.

"I'm very aware, and I don't even want the True Ancestor to act personally, which would change this conflict in all our wars between higher existences. Instead, your Legion is something else."

Zekram's intentions were clear; he wanted the Devil and the Blood Race to form an alliance; they were practically on the same side. It was the ultimate advantage the Devil Race had; they could forge alliances with the same races as them, something that the Church and Heaven could not, due to their aggressive expansion.

"Hmm. That could work. Perhaps even one of the Blood Lords would participate. Blood Lord Valerian Tepes was a battle maniac, so he would not miss the opportunity to go to war and fight the Archangel."
